Looks like the unholy lovechild of the Bugatti Chiron 18.3 concept and the BMW Nazca.

Uncool.
 
Since this is the last concept car being polled, I'm going to explain my vote using the inevitable:

Seriously uncool because concept car.
 
Imagine seeing one of these even parked! That would probably make everyone's day. I don't care if anyone thinks it's not cool because it's a concept; if you saw one you'd probably be begging for a picture.
 
Ugly vulgar-mobile. SU
 
I thought the new Aston Martin was the ugliest thing I had seen today, then I came across this.

I like the new Aston :( but yes I agree this thing is ugly.
 
So 90s it's almost cool. Almost.

Not really.

The reason I don't like the new AM is because my idea of an Aston Martin is an elegant, flowing FR grand tourer, the new hypercar is a low-slung, cut out racecar with a gaping maw.

Fair enough :cheers:
 
Loads of uglier cars than this, but it's still not super-nice to look at. If I was allowed any Italdesign concept car... it would probably be the Nazca C2 honestly.

Uncool.
 
I like it in a weird 90's sort of a way, but it's seriously uncool because it's a concept car.
 
I think that the original designer of the interior died before he could finish his drawing. Jesus.
 
The late 90s is a period best left forgotten when it comes to Alfas.

SU.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn that I strongly disagree. Yes I'm biased, but the 156 is one of the most beautiful saloon cars of all time.

By contrast, the Schigera isn't exactly a looker..
 
Was this derived from the 164 by the power of thought and delusion alone?
 
Ewww.

Never even cared for this in NFS.

SU.

The 156 is probably the lone exception to my comment.:cheers:
 
It's not Seriously uncool in my eyes, but it's close. I find Alfa Romeos usually at least cool, but this isn't. The styling is ugly, I don't like the edges in the front corners and the thin headlights. Also, it has a retractable spoiler on top of a wing and it looks silly. I also don't think the interior looks appealing at all.
 
Sucks that PC players of Hot Pursuit got stuck with this instead of the Nazca.
 
This is obviously from the period when Giugiaro and Sbarro were good drinking* buddies.

* Drinking LSD, that is.
 
Since this is the last concept car that is going to be in the Cool Wall, I'm just gonna give this a Meh. Even though it was featured in NFS Hot Pursuit, I still think the styling isn't that great.
 
Not only a concept car, but also a bloody mess. Even being a Alfa can't save it.

Uncool.
 
Not really a looker but it's so bizarre it has to be cool.
 
"Scighera"...sounds like it ought to cause cancer.

Looks like it too.
 
So is this basically half a Bugatti EB110? Because i find nothing wrong with that. Cool.
